**MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:**
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below
*Non-discrimination*
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.
*Boundaries*
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behavior if someone indicates that my behavior makes them feel uncomfortable.
*Creating Safe Environment*
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.
*Zero Tolerance for Harassment*
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.

Play Badminton Friday [Competitive Games] @Smash Center
【IMPORTANT SUMMARY】
* The purpose of competitive game session is to enjoy badminton games by focusing on trying your best to win the games.
* You don't need to be a very good player to join this session. Our level range from beginner to intermediate. We will put you to play with people with similar level. But if you are the first time to come and I don't know your level, then I will put you to play with less-experienced players to start.
* Please purchase your slot through this link [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/) Please also read the instruction inside this link, so that you have an idea how it works.
* Please bring feather shuttles to join the games. We only accept specific shuttles. Please read the following. **If you come without bringing feather shuttles with you, I may ask you to go home.**
【SIGN-UP SYSTEM】
* Please sign up and pay through this link. [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game)
* We don't use the signup system on Meetup.com anymore. (Neither the waiting list)
* It says this event is full on this meetup page, because I didn't open any slots here for you to sign up. You have to check this [sign-up page](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game) to see if there is still a slot available there.
* The background of using an external sign-up and payment system is because Meetup.com introduced a service fee to increase 21% of the fee in May 2023, and we want to reduce this cost.
【FEE and REFUND POLICY】
* Fee includes courts and the work I do to continue this group. Please sign up and pay before you come. NO refund if you do not cancel until 48 hours before the event.
* Racket: bring one or rent one at the counter.
* No matter the reason is sickness, accident or anything, the group or I will not afford the cost caused by your absence.
* Of course you CAN'T ask me, "Can I sign up for free for next week because I didn't come to use my slot this week?". Please remember, the court booked for you is there and it costs money. The court doesn't simply become "free of charge", just because you didn't show up.
【COMMUNICATION】
* Communication: our whatsapp group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347)
* There are too many spams, so I only accept +358 number to join whatsapp group. Numbers from other countries will all be rejected.
【DETAILS of COMPETITIVE GAMES】
* This is the list of shuttles we accept:
RSL Classic Tourney
Li-Ning Super 1000
Victor Smash It 1
Victor Smash It 2
Yonex Aerosansa 30
Ling Mei Gold
Ling Mei Black
* Smash Center also sells feather shuttles (Ling Mei Gold and Black). You can purchase there at your arrival.
【OTHERS】
* Please always keep 1 meter away from those courts where people are playing. Never step into the corners of other courts! If I see you do this, I probably will yell at you!
* If you have some questions, you can put your questions in the comments on the event page. People will respond.
* If you are new to badminton, please Google basic badminton rules in advance. Serve rules, double rules and point counting rules. You are always welcome to ask anyone in our group. Most of our members are more than happy to help you.
* Badminton activity is organized for non-profit purpose, but I take a small fee for my work.
* Want to restring your racket? I can do restring for you. €24 including the string. Please get contact with Ken.

** GTC Book Club**
**A Different Way to Read Together**
Welcome to tonight’s session!
This is not your usual book club.
Tonight, you won’t just talk about books, you’ll create, reflect, and share your own voice.
** What’s going to happen?**
1. You’ll write something of your own.
Inspired by one of the most famous books in the world, you’ll be given a creative writing prompt.
Don’t worry, this isn’t school, and it’s not about “good writing.”
It’s about your thoughts, your feelings, your imagination.
2. You’ll share what you wrote with others.
After everyone finishes their short writing (one page), we’ll form small groups where you can read your piece aloud, if you feel comfortable.
3. We’ll talk, not just about the book, but about your experiences, ideas, and each other.
This is a space to connect through stories, not to judge or critique.
4. A little mystery…
Your writing prompt will be randomly chosen from a sealed envelope.
Each person will get a unique, personal question to inspire their page.
What will your question be? You’ll find out soon 
** Just a few notes:**
* You can write in English or any language you’re comfortable with.
* No one is forced to read aloud, but we encourage you to share.
* Be kind, open-minded, and supportive.
* Enjoy the journey, not just the destination.
Ready? Grab your envelope. Pick your pen. Let’s begin.

Lessons from npm's Dark Side: These Are Not the Packages You're Looking For
**Lessons from npm's Dark Side: These Are Not the Packages You're Looking For**
Malware is all about scale and time: How can I hit the most people in the shortest time? But not all ecosystems are equally vulnerable. The JavaScript ecosystem, particularly its package manager npm, is arguably the most vulnerable to supply chain malware attacks. And with JavaScript being the language of the web, this is a problem that impacts an estimated 27.4 million developers. So what are we to do? In this session learn about:
* Why attackers target JavaScript/npm
* A case study of 5 attacks
* Whether we can trust maintainers to adopt security controls (research!)
* What you can do to protect yourself and your company from malware
**What to Expect**
* Introductions and Updates on chapter events and engagement ideas
* Primary presentation
* Network with fellow professionals who care about building and securing great software.
* **Food & Drink provided for in-person attendees! (please RSVP to ensure accurate head count)**
